THE land lay deluged by the Moon; <br />The molten silver of the lake <br />Shimmered in many a broad lagoon <br />Between grey isles, whose copse and brake <br />Lay folded on the water's breast <br />Like halcyons in a floating nest. <br /> <br />And like a child who trusts in God <br />When in the dark it lies alone, <br />Stretched on the aromatic sod <br />My heart was laid against your own, <br />Against your heart, which seemed to be <br />Mine own to all Eternity. <br /> <br />Lapped in illimitable light, <br />The woods and waters seemed to swoon, <br />And clouds like angels-winged the night <br />And slipped away into the Moon, <br />Lost in that radiant flame above <br />As we were lapped and lost in love.<br /><br />Mathilde Blind<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-white-night/
